Not a good one. The most reliable way is to check the downloads page and see if 
the available version is the one you’re running. There will also be at least 
one tweet from LoveQuicksilver and probably an announcement here when the 
release goes final.

You can also look at the same place the application checks. 
http://qs0.qsapp.com/plugins/check.php should always show the build number for 
the latest final release.

Maybe. That file is generated from a version controlled file, but isn’t version 
controlled itself, so I’m more willing to change it. But that’s one more step 
we might forget, and if you’re willing to go to a web page to find out, you 
could just go to the downloads page or the other link above. :-)

Your assumption makes more sense than the reality. Not sure why it’s under 
Extras or how hard it would be to move, but we should. All that results list 
stuff (under Command) should go under Appearance, too.

We could tag them with build numbers I guess, but if we write good commit 
messages, you should be able to tell from that. For instance, 
https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/commit/1389340076c5ed808fec9b47b736e98ccddf1a1a

(That’s on the release branch. Maybe you were looking at master?)
